안전관리는 건설사업의 시공과정 중에 발생 가능한 유해, 위험으로부터 인명을 보호하는 것이며, 건설사업의 주제는 발주자로서 발주자 역할의 극대화는 효과적인 건설재해 방지의 관건이다. 건설프로젝트의 발주자, 설계자, 감리자, 시공자, 협력업자 등 다수 참여자의 장기간에 걸친 공동작업으로 이루어지는 건설공사의 특성을 고려할 때, 기존의 건설안전관리체제로는 건설공사에 수반되는 이와 다양한 유형의 사고를 방지하기 위한 근본적인 처방으로는 미흡하며, 건설산업의 총체적인 안전수준의 향상을 통한 시설품의 생애주기 전반에 걸쳐 안전성을 확보할 수 있는 근원적인 안전관리제도의 구축이 요구되고 있다. 실태조사 결과 공공발주자와 민간발주자의 안전의식 및 안전관리실태에는 격차가 크며, 대다수 발주자의 안전관리에 대한 책임의식이 미흡하며, 민간발주자의 경우가 훨씬 열악한 것으로 나타났다. 정부 감독기관의 발주자에 대한 안전책임 부여도 소극적이다. 발주자 안전관리가 미흡한 원인과 이의 촉진 방안에 대한 도출이 필요하다. 발주자에 대한 접근 방법의 홍보를 통한 책임의식의 고취, 발주자를 위한 안전관리매뉴얼 등 안전관리 도구의 제공, 법령을 동한 명확한 책임의 부여, 발주자가 책임을 이행할 수 있는 자질있는 안전전문가의 활용이 긴요한 것으로 사료된다.

전력회사는 전력의 안정성과 신뢰도확보를 위해 끊임없이 노력하고 있지만 전력설비의 자그마한 이상에도 그 파급효과는 상당히 클 수 있다. 특히 한국의 전력계통은 복잡한 그물망 구조를 가지고 있어 작은 선로사고가 국가 전체의 대형정전사고로 이어질 가능성을 가지고 있다. 특히 전력산업의 변화에 의해 전력계통의 대형정전사고의 책임 문제도 발생할 수 있다. 전력선의 사고의 대다수가 1선 지락 사고로 발생되며, 그중에 애자의 절연파괴로 인한 사고가 상당수를 차지하고 있다. 그러나 애자의 절연파괴는 가시적으로 발전하기 어려운 것이 사실이다. 그러므로 본 논문은 센서 및 통신 장비를 이용하여 쉽게 애자의 절연 파괴를 감지하고, 이를 신속하게 운영자에게 알릴 수 있는 시스템의 개요에 대하여 논한다.

교통사고의 원인은 인적 요인, 차량적 요인, 도로 환경적 요인으로 분류된다. 주어진 도로 환경과 차량 조건하에서는 운전자가 마지막으로 안전을 제어할 책임을 지고 있다. 따라서, 교통사고를 사전에 예방하기 위하여 운전자의 교통법규 위반 행위에 대하여는 도로교통법에 근거하여 징역, 벌금, 구류, 과료, 과태료, 범칙금에 처하고 있다. 교통법규 위반 행위 단속 시에는 교통사고 유발 가능성과 위험도에 따라 단속의 강약을 포함하여 차등화된 처벌이 이루어져야 한다. 교통 범칙금 기준 제시를 위하여 1991~1995년의 5년간 교통사고 및 교통법규 위반을 분석한 결과 전체 교통법규 위반 단속 중 교통사고를 야기하는 동적 위반 행위인 사고관련 위반 행위 단속의 비율이 44%로 일본의 61%에 비해 매우 낮은 수준이다. 따라서 사고유발 가능성에 근거한 교통법규 위반 행위 단속의 강화가 필요하다. 한편 범칙금 부과방안으로 피해도 모형과 빈도 모형을 비교한 결과 교통법규 위반 행위로 인해 발생된 교통사고 비용을 고려한 피해도 모형은 범칙금의 차등화가 분명하지 않고 변별력이 뚜렷이 나타나지 않아 적합하지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 교통법규 위반 행위에 따른 빈도 모형은 교통사고 건수와 사망사고 건수의 가중치(w)설정을 위해 동적 위반행위가 우리나라와 유사한 일본 자료와 비교한 결과 가중치가 한국=0.7, 일본=0.8일 때 상대적으로 $x^2$가 31.71로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 따라서, 사고건수에 대한 가중치는 0.7로 사망사고에 대한 가중치는 0.3을 적용하였다. 마지막으로 현행 범칙금과 제안된 범칙금을 비교분석하였다.

The 「Act on Remedies for Injuries from Medical Malpractice and Mediation of Medical Disputes」(hereinafter referred to as 'the Act on Mediation of Medical Disputes') provides that the state should compensate the victims of medical accidents occurred irresistibly in childbirth despite that health and medical service personnel fulfilled their duty of care for their damage within the range of its budget(Article 46 of the Act on Mediation of Medical Disputes). Given that victims of medical accidents could expect demage recovery only through lawsuits thus far, this act can be said to be a groundbreaking act. However, However, as 30% of the costs for such medical accident compensation projects are borne by those who have records of childbirth among the founders of health and medical institutions (Article 21 of the Act on Mediation of Medical Disputes), there has been a question about whether doctors are held responsible despite that the accidents such as the deaths of mothers and newborn babies occurred irresistibly without doctors' fault. However, recently, the Constitutional Court ruled that 'the range of founders of health and medical institutions' and 'share ratios of finances for compensation' in Article 46 (3) of the Act on Mediation of Medical Disputes' related to the imposition of the share of costs are institutional (Constitutional Court ruling dated April 26, 2018, 2015Heonga13, hereinafter referred to as 'the ruling in the case'). Although the ruling in the case was made based on only the principle of statutory reservation and the principle of ban on comprehensive authorization, this paper added a practical judgment. This paper proved that the share of costs in this case has the nature of burden charges in pursuit of study and does not infringe on the property rights of the founders of health medical institutions even in light of the principle of proportionality because there is a legitimate reason for imposing the burden charge. The imposition of the share of costs in the system for compensation for medical accidents occurred irresistibly is against the principle of liability with fault in part. However, the medical accident compensation projects are rational a national policy for the victims of medical accidents and the medical world clearly gains some benefits from the effect to terminate medical disputes. The expansion of finances for compensation through the payments of the share of costs will reduce the suffering and misunderstanding of victims of medical accidents occurred in the process of childbirth and will be very helpful to the construction of stable treatment environments of medical workers by quickly establishing the medical accident compensation projects as such.

In this study, the authors analyzed the limit of IOPC Fund system, such as limit of compensation, amount of FC, long period of assessment by IOPC Fund, issue of non verification by poor claimant or small business, issue of poor claimant subsistence in early stage of accidents, and comparatively analyzed how the three countries resolved these limits by enacting special laws and government policy. Until recently most governments have carried out prevention policy for maritime safety, oil spill response, investigation of maritime accidents, and restoration of marine environment when oil spill accidents happened. However, governments have not actively participated in the oil spill compensation process because it is a matter of private sectors between the polluter and claimant. The governments have only limited their role in ratifying Civil Liability Convention and Fund Convention and enacted relevant domestic laws. However, the governments of France, Spain, and Korea have actively participated in the compensation process of oil pollution incidents of M/T Erika, M/T Prestige, and M/T Hebei Spirit. This is because they had experiences of unsuccessful compensation in M/T Amoco Cadiz, M/T Agean Sea, and M/T Sea Prince.

A significant rise in product-liability cost is expected due to the newly passed product liability amendment Bill approved during the assembly plenary session on March 30, 2017. Korean government legal service(KGLS) filed a damage suit against Korea aerospace industries, Ltd.(KAI) and Hanwha Techwin Co., Ltd., the manufactures of the KUH-1 Surion helicopter crashed. KGLS alleged claims under the product liability Act, the warrant liability Act and the non-performance of contract act. The accountability limits of military aircraft manufacturers was a highly divisive issue among related scholars and legal practitioners. The bottom line was that military aircraft manufacturers had no product-liability insurance available. The United States courts have, therefore, developed the government contractor defense(GCD) and it was recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court in Boyle v. United Technologies corporation(1988). product liability insurances for military aircraft manufacturers are excessively expensive and it cannot be added onto the military procurement cost accounting. However, having an aircraft accident without one can be ruinously expensive. Therefore, the manufacturers should promptly set up appropriate risk management measures. This thesis will first review the advance GCD theory, and then find a way to either reform government contract related regulations.

This study analyzed a gas explosion accident. A gas smell from a underground coffee shop in the two-story building was reported to 119. A fire brigade was turned out, turned off the main valve of LPG gas cylinder on the roof, and checked the turning off of middle valve in the coffee shop. The fire brigade required a gas supplier and gas installer who arrived at the spot to take safety actions. Gas explosion occurred seven minutes after the fire brigade was withdrawn and two people died and 21 people were injured. A court decided that because the causes for gas explosion were not found, compensation responsibility could not be charged with the gas supplier, the gas installer, or Korea Gas Safety Corporation. In this reason, the court judged that only the fire brigade who was withdrawn without taking safety actions shall compensate victims or bereaved families. Therefore, fire brigades who turn out after a 119 report of a gas leak should take safety actions such as escaping people or preventing people's access and ventilating and be withdrawn when there is no possibility of fire or explosion.

The purpose of this article is to examine maritime accident and corporate criminal liability in comparison with cases and laws in UK and US. In Anglo-American law, a corporation can be convicted of and sentenced for a criminal offence. However, some theoretical difficulties lie in fixing a corporation with the appropriate mens rea. The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 in England is to solve those difficulties and punish a corporation like a natural person. Comparing to Anglo-American law, a corporation is difficult to be punished in Korean law because it is a well recognized theory that only natural person is capable of committing a crime. However, safety in society and workplace is earning great concern in Korea, and emphasis is put on responsibilities of corporations. This article discusses the need for legislation on corporate manslaughter act in Korea with regard to the sinking of the MV Sewol.

Like the technological competition of each country around commercialization of Autonomous Vehicles(the rest is 'AV'), legalizations are also in a competition. However, in the midst of this competition, the Ethik-Kommission Automatisiertes und vernetztes Fahren of Germany has recently introduced 20 guidelines. This guideline is expected to serve as a milestone for future AV legislations. In this paper, I have formulated a new legislative proposal that will incorporate the main content presented by the Ethik-Kommission. The structure is largely divided into general rules of purpose and definition, chapter on types of AV and safety standards, registration and inspection, maintenance, licenses for AV, driver's obligations, insurance and accident responsibilities, roads and facilities, traffic system, and chapter on penalties. The commercialization of AV in Korea seems to be in a distant future, and it is possible to pretend that it is not necessary to prepare legal systems. But considering our reality, leading legislation may be necessary. In this paper, I have prepared individual legislative proposals based on the essential matters based on the criminal responsibility in case of AV car accidents. To assure the safety of AV, AV and mode of operation were defined for more clear interpretation and application of law, and basic safety standards for AV were presented. In addition, the obligation of insurance and the liability for damages were defined, and the possibility of immunity from the criminal responsibility was examined. Furthermore, I have examined the penalties for penalties such as hacking in order to secure the effectiveness of the Act. Based on these discussions, I have attempted the 'Autonomous Vehicles Act', which aims to provide a basis for new discussions to be held on the basis of various academic fields related to the operation of AV and related industries in the future. Although there may be a sense of unurgency in time, the automobile industry needs time to prepare for the regulation of the AV ahead of time. And a process of public debate is also needed for the ecosystem of healthy AV industry.
